Weekend Loves

OMG! Happy weekend to everyone. I had a grand, fun weekend: dinner with friends, donuts, browsing through records and lots and lots of food.

October has proved to be quite an eventful month. I swear I can't even begin to explain my busy schedule. I'm truly feel happy to be getting outside  and doing more. My goal for the school was to gain more life experience. I see myself changing into an adult. Soon, the semester will be over and I will be officially be a college graduate. I'm so excited I could cry right now.


 Party at my friend's apartment. Do you like my hoodie?






The firemen came because of the smoke machine: it was not allowed but we still dance and sang for the rest of the evening.



Donut Stop, open until 4 am!

Looking for some party records, and found a cover that reminded us of friend.

Inside of Harolds, I order the biscuits and gravy. NOM! 

Thanks for reading, and enjoy your Sunday!

Good Morning

Merry Christmas to all my fellow bloggers. I hope you have a wonderful break. Be back soon!

ps. Tell me what you got for Christmas! 

Check It Out

Here are some snapshots from my first weekend with my touch camera. I absolutely love it. It's definitely no the best quality but if I'm with friend or see something cool. I just snap away.


One of my first shots. My dog is on my bed and dying for some affection. No worries, she is a pampered pooch. 

This is my dad's office. I came down to have lunch with him. I got an awesome vegetarian quesadilla.  The building is one my favorites. 

I make my own gourmet drinks, such as the one below. It's a peppermint hot chocolate, I used soy milk and a  peppermint creamer. It taste like Christmas. 

 I love this ring from F21. It's definitely a statement piece and it doesn't bother me when I type. 

I'm slowly improving my camera skills. Also I plan on doing more update through my touch on my Tumblr. 

Kisses and hugs to all my followers and those you just comment here. You guys are seriously the best. ♥

Dear Salinger

RIP

JD Salinger.

Thanks for making my junior year English class, not suck all the joy I had for books and classic literature.

I had to write a paper on my why Holden was just being a major prick and not a crazy psychopath. (I still have my notes from that class).

Although it's been a week, since this talented writer has passed, I still want to encourage everyone to read his other works, anything except Catcher in the Rye.

It's been crazy this week!

I try to answer any questions or comments.

I truly enjoy reading them.

And no, I have yet to buy a new purse. :(

Nothing special or cute to comment on except, that I'm dreading this month and I think we all know why.

Camera Woes

As of lately my camera seems to be suffering from shutter lag.

I just when I think it's taken a picture, than I realized it has not.

I typically have to press the button 3 times in order to get a response.

I've had this since 2007. I think now is a good time to upgrade.

I've got some great news!

I recieve this semester a small boost of money from my scholarship. I've got some leftover after buying books, so I've decided to put that money into a better camera.

I've been really into getting a DSLR but I think outside of blog pictures and the occasional social event, it would be silly of me to buy one.

So as usual, I'm unable to decide on the camera I want.

Since August, I've looked the Canon G11.

It's small, and many say it gives DSLR quality without the extra weight and lens.

But for the same price (on Amazon), I could buy the Canon Rebel XS.

I've never had any experience with a DSLR but this one seems easy to learn and probably go farther in the long run.

My dear readers, what camera would chose?

Or do think I'm being biased and should buy a different camera?

Thanks so much for any advice.

bbbrrrrrr.......

It's freezing, I mean it for real. It's about -30 degrees.I barely venture outside when the city is saying their is a window chill warning.

I hate this so badly. I know I'm not the only blogger stuck at home, wearing PJ's.

But there are lots of comforts from browsing tumblr.

I saw this recently. (No clue where from, tumblr people are bad at posting links/ credit).

Obviously what caught my attention was the insane heel. Then, I notice the satin bow and how precise and well-aligned the crystals look. I barely glanced at the bunny pinup tattoo.

I adore all forms of expression; my love for tattoos is strong. I went on an endeavor to meet Kat Von D from LA Ink at her book signing. Her style of tattoo is kind I admire the most. I love details and shadowing.

I really would get one, except I'm terrified of needles. My older brother says they don't hurt, and he has gotten 4. He recommended a few places and even offered to take me to a session.

Do I plan on getting one?

Not for awhile. I have the get over my fear, than make a decision.

Does any one that reads this have a tatoo?

I love to hear your story.
